Summary: Shoot the proof-reader
Review: A good book that is marred by a couple of things... 1. The presentation and print quality are absolutely terrible. 2. There are NUMEROUS bugs in the example code. Still, better than most of the books I've read, proving useful to both beginners and more experienced coders.

Summary: Learn OOP the right way
Review: After having read quite a few C++ books, including the big players(Stroustroup, Lippman, Meyers), I have to say this book is a must read. The diagrams are awesome, allowing you to grasp some pretty hardcore concepts easily. A complete beginner would not find this book easy to follow, I suggest that you dont use this book as your entry into the C++ world. I like the focus on design rather than pure syntax, it makes a refreshing change.

Summary: Ignore whatever Paul Castonguay wrote
Review: Base on his review of the book, it is scary to see someone such as Mr Paul Castonguay even allow to write computer program, leave alone doing object-oriented design. Reading his review and you can get a good laugh with the ADT analysis with static and C.

Summary: Excellent ! One of the best C++ books !
Review: I have a lot of books on the subject of C++ (all big players included) and I may say that this one is surely among the best ! Mr. Dattatri tells you everything you should know in serious but understandable manner. His experience, hard earned wisdom and thorough knowledge, all diplayed and selflessly shared, gave me a lot of pleasure and thought me a lot! This is the way textbooks should be written ! There are hundreds of books on the subject but do not mess around ! Buy this one ! You will read it several times! Not because it is undecipherable like Stroustrup, but because of pleasure and fun of learning C++ and OO way of thinking ! Indispensable book in every respect !

Summary: The errata list...
Review: I know there are quite a few errors/bugs in the book. Thanks to many readers who have pointed them out.This book evolved from my experience in the industry designing and developing OO software and also from my ongoing interactions with students in my coures. I have tried to focus on concepts that are usually not well understood by beginners as well as experienced developers. My goal is to illustrate examples with small code snippets without boring the reader with long C++ examples. Please send your comments/corrections to kayshav@netscape.com or kayshav@hotmail.com I will acknowledge your input and publish them on my homepage.

Summary: Great for someone with C experience, looking to learn C++
Review: I picked up the book with a basic foundation in C programming in a professional Win32 environment, and was looking to expand my knowledge of C++. I never had any formal training in C++, and was able to grasp all of the concepts presented. After reading I was able to quickly pick up and understand ATL and MFC with little trouble at all. This book is great for those "theory" people who want to understand how to use the language, not just copy and paste code from a book. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who has no experience with C or C++. A basic understanding of C is a minimum requirement.

Summary: Insightful C++
Review: I read most of the 1st edition.
A very insightful look into C++ programming with
detailed but simple examples to explain the fundamental
and yet powerful concepts and intricacies with the language!

Summary: Insightful C++
Review: I will keep it short. Even if you are not familiar with C++ and are merely beginning OOP, you can use this book to learn a lot about object oriented software construction. The author does an excellent job of demonstrating his point in C++, Java, Eiffel, and Smalltalk. This is a great book. No doubt about it.

Summary: Just perfect a book! no need to buy any more C++ books.
Review: If you are serious in learning, not just C++ but also issues involved in this language. It is good for software architects and designers let alone implementers. It prepares you for the real world, may not be intended for beginners (although you could do with it!).
